Pioneer Trek - Youth Stake Conference

Aleah finally got to participate in a Pioneer Trek after years of watching her sisters and parents go! She was thrilled when upon moving here, she found out they were going to have a trek for their upcoming youth conference.
There were approximately 75 youth and leaders who set out to trek 13 miles through the Kiabab National Forest in Southern Utah. The weather was fabulous for them and they had a great time. Some of Aleah's favorites were hearing true pioneer stories, learning how to make scones and seeing a new part of the country. One of the neatest things?... ending up at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon!!! Breathtaking views + newfound friendships + spiritual edifications + greater appreciation of forefathers = absolutely priceless experience.


Aleah and Katie, the only two YW from our ward,
stick together.

Aleah said they came over a crest in the trail and this
is what they saw. Can you say, "Wow!"?
